On The Couch with Swindle
Swindle chats to Goldielocks about what inspires him, how he got into music making and producing 700 beats in a year.
On The Buttons with Swindle and Mz Bratt
Just wanted to say a big thankyou to everyone who came down to the second OTB.
It was a great turn out with lots of familiar faces and plenty of new ones too. After warming up with some ping pong and cracking open a few beers and Red Bull, Swindle gave a really inspiring talk and then showed us his skills with a live beat making session that blew most of us away. Mz Bratt then kicked off her performance with an acapella, followed closely by the hype new track ‘Selecta’. She said it was like performing in Starbucks filled with musical people! Kashmir Kid and Tanzanite kept it bubbling nicely with a selection of new experimental beats alongside some classic tunes.
Videos are coming soon, please spread the word and don’t forget to make it to our next event on November 13th.
